Mock Draft Chat

We could make different rules that limits the pool? @Nosferatu

No, i'm not trying to shit on your idea, I like it and if you guys wanna do a pretty open draft that's cool...

Cool idea, you will have stacked teams it's almost just an open draft because you have Kareem with 19 and Kobe with 18 then nobody else has more than 15. You can get very good players with 5.

I think it's a cool idea but it's honestly just an open draft.

We could do a 40 Total All Star draft. 10 players(all 10 play a half), you get 40 Total All Star appearances. You can have 10 players with 4 each, 4 with 10, or 2 with 20, once you run out, you have to pick non all stars

All-Time or make a cut-off year?

All time. This would work in baseball as well, reason being, instead of HOF, number of AS would even things out

Might be a bit more difficult to organize, but one way could be to have a rolling total of Allstar appearances. Like each team starts with 20 All-Star Appearances. For every non-allstar pick you make, you get +5 additional all star appearances to your total.

So for example if say you took Kareem with your first pick, it would only allow you 1 remaining all-star appearance. If you took a non-all star with second pick, you would then go up +5 to a total of 6. Pick another non-all star with your 3rd pick and that total jumps to 11.

Could make it really interesting with an open pool of players. You wouldn't get stacked teams because you'd have to allot for spaces for non-all star players. Plus if you took guys with huge all-star totals, you would likely have to counter that with many more non-all stars.

Lots of different strategies to play. Select a bunch of middle of the road allstars or select a couple top tier, with non-all stars.

This way you'd have both the balance of having top talent and lower level talent, like I believe was the premise of having the two round factor. Trading wouldn't be affected by this for picks because its based on each team's total number of remaining AS appearances and not subject to any round rules.

I had a similiar idea. Yours would provide less stacked teams, but I think the idea of just setting the cap low and not having to deal with keeping up with the numbers is probably the easiest way. With a salary of only $40 for 10 players the teams wont be too stacked....

I'll be in for the next NBA draft, btw. I probably could have done this NFL draft in hindsight. Also might try out another baseball one after that.

It'd be cool if we knew we could keep the same group for all three sports and do 3 drafts that share the same cap number, based on AS appearances/pro bowls. Be interesting to see of guys blow their wads for one sport or try to save up.

I actually really like this idea but arent all 3 sports different cap wise? Many bc you use a different number of players per team.

Baseball - 18 players with no bench.
Football - 22 - 24 players
Basketball - 10 players usually

I feel like baseball and football could be similiar but basketball screws up everything...if I am following your idea...

That's the beauty of it. You would have a big enough cap to load up in one sport, but it would kill you in the other two.

Whole cap on baseball, scrubs in hoops

I think we talked about doing this before but having one huge cap for all three sports and doing one big draft. Maybe $300 and you draft 3 teams: 10 players - NBA, 24 players - NFL, 20 players - MLB. So 54 rounds lol.

This was my idea, except no cap. And I wanted to add hockey, but that didn't go over well at all.

Bc hockey is for the gheys that like slamming other guys into the wall and fighting with their sticks @Nosferatu knows all about this

When is the next hockey related draft? I'm up for anything hockey or football. I would have to brush up on baseball and basketball.

That hurts coming from someone who loves watching big giant sweaty men running back and forth trying to stuff a ball in a hole...

Probably whenever @mr.hockey4242 bugs @Nosferatu enough to let us have one.

If it were up to me Hockey would have been in the rotation but being 2/3 of the people drafting admittedly know nothing about Hockey it just didn't seem like a good idea to have a bunch of NHL Drafts...
